I don't find the concept of an open relationship with a parent to be skeevish.

Wow. For a moment that sentence read as very Jerry Springer. But upon reflection, I guess you weren't going for an Oedipal vibe there. Sorry. Carry on.

Iona was the record store owner; Andi was the teenage girl.

Oh. Okay. I forgot to mention "Iona annoys me" in my dislikes list, then. I forgot she existed, but now that I remember her, she annoys me.

The last scene of Say Anything is, indeed, a beautiful thing. Ione Skye is also very pretty, but certainly the movie is great because of Lloyd. t hugs the image of John Cusack in love to his chest and decides to dream about High Fidelity tonight.

I'm sure Winona (not to mention Christian) was already nuts in Heathers. It just wasn't so obvious yet. So pretty, too.

I can never resist watching it, but truthfully my love is all for Lloyd. I kind of blur my eyes when Ione Skye is on screen.

This is how I watch Four Weddings and a Funeral with Andie MacDowell.

Heathers is a thing of beauty. And while I'm fond of Say Anything, I keep getting sidetracked by playing the "Hey! That location is nowhere near where they just were!" game. The first time I saw the movie, I shook my head in disbelief at the backseat scene; not because of the writing or the characters, but because I knew that at that particular location, they should have been interrupted by the police driving by every, oh, 10 or 15 minutes. (No, I will not explain how I know that. You can jump to your own conclusions without my help.)

This is how I watch Four Weddings and a Funeral with Andie MacDowell.

Word. Although, to be fair, I think it's a dreadfully written cypher of a role, so I don't entirely hold it against MacDowell.

However, this is exactly how I watch X Men movies. I try to superimpose Angela Basset over Halle Berry.

I don't find the concept of an open relationship with a parent to be skeevish.

I think that's the issue, though, and part of what is so skeevishly painful about it. He uses the words "You know you can say anything to me" like a weapon. When Diane tells her father she's slept with Lloyd, it didn't feel like a natural sharing -- he guilted her into it. And then, of course, she discovers that he's been to lying to her all along.

See, I figure that's the only reason she's bearable in it at all. Much, much worse when they actually make her act.

I think the whole "child emotionally propping up the parent thing" in Pretty in Pink skeeved me way worse. Possibly due to Issues.

Still, I think the line about the rain at the end may be the single worst bit of acting I've ever seen in a major motion picture.
